I have a theory about C vitamins that makes me sound like a crazy person.

On one hand we have people who swear that C vitamins help with colds and on the other hand we have scientists who say it doesn’t help.

I’m in the first camp but ONLY when it’s effervescent tablets. Hear me out.

I’ve always had insane colds but 20 years ago I started taking effervescent C vitamin tablets every day. Ever since then I’ve had no colds most years and occasionally very mild colds. If I for one reason or another stopped taking them my colds came back full force. At one point I tried switching to regular tablets because they’re cheaper but they had the same effect as if I had taken no C vitamins at all.

Now, I have a friend who just finished medical school who told me bubbles for some reason make our body absorb stuff faster. We don’t know why, but that’s why some medication shouldn’t be taken with fizzy drinks because it mess with absorption time/strength. Also, C vitamins are absorbed at the very beginning of our intestines which means our body has relatively short time to absorb it.

So my theory is maybe that’s why regular c vitamin tablets don’t have much of an effect while effervescent tablets have already been dissolved in water, which is easier for the body to absorb, and on top of that it has bubbles which means the body absorbs even more. That’s why the people who swear by c vitamins are always the ones who use effervescent tablets.

I have no idea if this has been tested in a lab or if the effects of different types of c vitamin tablets have been compared. I just know c vitamins help some of us and I don’t know why.

As a biochem student no class of biomolecules fascinate me more than vitamins. Because unlike other types of biomolecules like carbohydrates and lipids, there’s really no specific structure pattern vitamins have. They’re just random molecules necessary for human survival that just don’t fit into any other category. The only thing that unites vitamins to each other is the fact we need them to live, but our bodies can’t make them.

#in all of my classes where vitamins have shown up profs are like so these are vitamins no they have nothing in common with each other and if #We didn’t need them to live no one would ever put these molecules in the same class #vitamins #Biochemistry

vitamins & supplements i take as someone with a restrictive ed

i find that eating less and putting my body through certain stress affects a lot of mental and physical factors —like hair loss and brain fog— and studies show its usually because of vitamin deficiencies…

so this is what vitamins i take daily to make everyday life a little easier and to keep up with my health :)

morning/first meal of the day

vitamin C: immune system + skin elasticity

collagen: skin elasticity + hair + nails + muscle mass

biotin: self care^ + nervous system (only a few times a week because i find it causes my pores to grow larger if taken too frequently)

vitamin B complex: cell health + energy levels + digestion & appetite + brain function

vitamin D3: bone and muscle health + immune system

iron: red blood & cell health + energy levels + brain function

omega-3: brain function + cancer & other disease prevention

evening/before bed

magnesium: improved sleep + mood + energy levels

taking vitamins wont counteract or necessarily fix any serious damage being done to one’s body, but it is still very important to keep maintenance with one’s bodily needs!

the effect of what (and how) you eat

okay, this is a big topic. and so this is a long post. i'm going to be going over the effect of what you eat and why it's important to think about what foods you are consuming. don't worry! i do my research-- at the end of the post will be a few resources, and i'll show where i've gotten my information.

lots of dietary advice is available over the internet, but often the people absorbing the information do not understand the why. knowing where your information is coming from,, and not believing everything you read online is key to actually maintaining a good, healthy diet.

before you read: TRIGGER WARNING THERE IS MENTION OF EATING DISORDERS,,

let's start with this: like everything in this age, food is a double-edged sword. overconsumption and underconsumption can both kill you. what you eat; how you eat--it can help or hinder whatever your goals may be.

here's the effect/s: the connection between diet and mental health is profound. while we’ve long understood that diet plays a crucial role in overall health, emerging research in the field of nutritional psychiatry sheds light on how what we eat directly impacts our emotional well-being and mental state.

the brain-gut connection: the gut is closely linked to the brain. trillions of living microbes in our gut have essential functions, including synthesizing neurotransmitters. these neurotransmitters send chemical messages to the brain, regulating sleep, pain, appetite, mood, and emotions.

to improve your gut health, here's what you can do:

by eating a varied diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, essential nutrients are provided which feeds the beneficial bacteria in the gut. high fibre foods promote gut health by supporting good bacteria.

fermented foods, such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and miso are rich in probiotics—live beneficial bacteria that boost gut health. kombucha (a fermented tea) is another option.

avoiding reducing processed foods can reduce the diversity of good bacteria in your gut. when i say processed foods, i'm referring to ultra-processed foods, for example, fried foods and frozen meals. they may be easy and cheap, but they include preservatives, artificial colouring, chemical flavouring and texturing agents. all of which our bodies are not made to consume. it's ignorant to tell you to avoid processed foods at all costs. that's not realistic, and a horrible mindset. instead, you should manage your intake. enjoy treats every now and then and don't punish yourself for it.

hydration is key to a healthy gut. water supports digestion and nutrient absorption.

stress management, eating well and exercise can also help your gut microbiome's health.

by having a healthy gut microbiome, you are helping your body to have lower chronic inflammation, have regular bowel movements and more effectively absorb nutrients. therefore, you will have a stronger immune system, have clearer skin and support your digestion and metabolism.

why eating protein matters: proteins are made of amino acids, which serve as the fundamental building blocks for various structures in our bodies. these amino acids are essential for forming enzymes, hormones, tissues, and DNA. protein is vital in maintaining and building muscle mass. when activities like strength training and physical exercise are engaged in, protein helps build and repair the muscles.

hemoglobin, a protein in our red blood cells, transports oxygen from our lungs to other tissues. without adequate protein, oxygen delivery would be compromised. antibodies, which defend against infections, are made of proteins. a well-functioning immune system relies on sufficient protein intake. collagen, a protein, maintains the integrity of our skin, hair, and nails. adequate protein supports healthy skin elasticity and wound healing.

the recommended dietary intake for protein relies on factors such as age, weight, height, gender, activity and overall health. remember that individual needs can vary, so consulting with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian is advisable to determine your specific protein requirements.

many diets exist that cut out entire macronutrients (keto for example) but that is not the way. each macronutrient has great importance in helping the body function.

carbohydrates are the body's (including the brain) preferred energy source. they enable muscle contraction during exercise and even at rest. carbs maintain body temperature, support heart function, and aid digestion.

the keto diet comes from the belief that when carbohydrates are not providing energy (are not being consumed), the body will use reserved energy stored in lipids (fat). while this is true, this diet is not maintainable-- it throws the body out of whack, storing more energy to maintain homeostasis.

fats provide energy and are essential for hormone production. they contribute to cell growth, brain health and vitamin absorption.

our brain is composed of ~60% fat. fats are essential for neurotransmitter production, affecting mood, cognition, and hormonal signalling. cholesterol, often associated with heart health, is a precursor for steroid hormones (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone). without adequate cholesterol, our body cannot produce these essential hormones.

effects of diet on mood: firstly, going long periods without eating can cause a drop in blood sugar levels, leading to tiredness and irritability. secondly, consuming excessive amounts of food can make you feel tired and lethargic.

choosing the right carbohydrates can help maintain blood sugar levels. our brain primarily runs on glucose (obtained from carbohydrate-rich foods). you can opt for slow-release carbohydrates to maintain steady energy levels. slow-release carbohydrates (a.k.a low GI food) provide a more sustained and gradual release of energy compared to other carbohydrates. examples include fruits, vegetables, whole grains (grainy bread, brown rice, oats) and sweet potatoes. high GI foods rapidly spike blood sugar levels due to their quick digestion and absorption.

going too long without eating can lead to low blood sugar levels, resulting in irritability and fatigue. overeating to discomfort can also leave you feeling tired and lethargic. consistent, moderate-sized meals help maintain stable blood sugar levels and promote an even mood.

i know, overeating is an issue that one cannot simply 'turn off'. it's important to know the psychology, and if you struggle with it--please talk to a health professional.

here is what i can tell you about overeating:

overeating is typically a learned behaviour and habit. certain foods are associated with pleasure and reward. when enticing food is encountered, we engage in eating behaviour and immediately experience pleasure. this reinforces the habit, making it challenging to change.

overeating may be serving as a coping mechanism for emotions. when feelings of sadness, disappointment, frustration, or even joy arise, someone may turn to food. emotional eating provides temporary relief, reinforcing the behaviour.

the first delicious bite triggers pleasure, satiates our appetite, and improves our emotional state. our memory associates this reward process with eating, leading us to continually seek that pleasure. this is due to immediate reward.

people with eating disorders may disregard their health, body, body image and lifestyle goals. they use food as a way to punish themselves and gain control over their life. restrictive eating disorders can lead to 'binging behaviour'. bingeing serves as a way to numb emotions. anxiety, stress, and depression can trigger binge behaviours. consuming certain foods or substances (like junk food or alcohol) releases dopamine, the “feel-good” neurotransmitter. this chemical rush can lead to physical addiction, reinforcing bingeing. a culture (unfortunately which is abundant in the world today) that emphasizes consumption as a measure of worth can contribute to bingeing. messages about thinness, drinking, and material possessions can drive these behaviours.

i hate that i am having to say this but alcoholism is bad. and caffeine addiction is bad. in no way is harming your health aesthetic or 'a vibe'.

limiting caffeine and alcohol can also improve mood. again, i'd like to stress that there is never going to be one perfect diet, and allowing yourself to enjoy whatever food you like is perfectly fine- as long as you are doing so in moderation.

everything is a balance.

It wasn’t so long ago people had to worry about stuff like this. Vitamin F now is called essential fatty acids like omega-3 and vitamin G is riboflavin or B2.

The degree to which herbal supplements are unregulated continues to appal me

And by “unregulated” I don’t just mean that there’s no medical proof that the supplement you take works (there isn’t)

I mean also that no one checks to see if any supplement says it contains what it says it contains

This is an industry that has happily killed hundreds of people who never knew why their bodies were dying because they didn’t even know supplements were unregulated. It’s so hard for medical doctors to trace symptoms back to any one distributor’s batch of “immune system booster.” People have died of failing organs and cancers whose mystery causes no one will ever find out. We have learned the reasons for some of these deaths, but many more we’ll never catch. Those people died confused and in pain due to the corporate greed of companies that still get to present themselves as “natural” and “healthy”

The supplements industry has so much blood on its hands but people still think it’s safe and that’s just monstrous

How to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones ?

Building good habits and breaking bad ones is a constant battle we all face. Here's the honest truth: it ain't easy, but it's definitely doable. Here are some battle-tested strategies to fight the good fight:

Building Good Habits:

Start Small & Celebrate Wins: Don't try to overhaul your life overnight. Begin with tiny, achievable goals – meditate for 5 minutes, drink a glass of water before bed. Celebrate these small wins – they fuel motivation!

Make it Easy & Attractive: Stack new habits onto existing routines. Brush your teeth? Do 10 squats then. Craving a coffee break? Take a walk instead. Make the good habit the easy, attractive choice.

Habit Pairing: Pair a new habit with an established one. Listen to an audiobook while commuting (bonus points for learning something new!).

Identity Shift: Focus on becoming the person who does the good habit. "I am a healthy eater," not "I should eat healthy."

Breaking Bad Habits:

Identify Triggers: What makes you reach for that extra slice of cake? Boredom? Stress? Find healthy alternatives to address the trigger. Swap sugary snacks for a walk or some deep breaths.

Remove Temptation: Out of sight, out of mind! Hide the junk food, unsubscribe from shopping sprees, put your phone away during work hours.

Find a Replacement: Can't seem to quit social media? Replace mindless scrolling with reading a book or calling a friend.

Don't Beat Yourself Up: Slips happen! The key is to get back on track quickly. Acknowledge the slip, learn from it, and recommit to the good habit.

Bonus Tip: Be patient! Habits take time to form and break. Consistency is key. There will be setbacks, but don't give up. Celebrate the progress, not just the perfection.pen_spark
